His work has seen him employed as lead Production Manager for all high profile events with the London Boroughs of Culture. His achievements include producing the ‘London is Open’ inspired Africa Express show, managing a budget of more than £350,000.
Alongside this, Sam runs the non-profit Music Halls project, an ambitious initiative aimed at redefining public spaces for the creative industries by installing world-class soundsystems into unique spaces. His venture has seen him work with community groups such as London Syrian musicians and the Tamil Music Society.
He is also commissioned by local authorities to produce large-scale sound installations including the recent Line of Light event to celebrate the extension of the Northern Line.
